was again busted last Thursday, when
the government weather Office Their
mometer registered SO degrees. The

degrees, on July 10Th. Everybody
said it was hot day, and everybody
was right. Many of the little ther-
mometers about town got distracted
and ranged from 50 up to 100. 1t is
estimated that enough perspiration
was taken from the citizens during
the day to make small lake. July,

to SO. Friday evening rain gale
came down from the northwest and

was considerably chilly. After the

breeze, the weather was delightful and
put renewed life into almost everyone.

The Journal of last week helped
the ARGUS to celebrate its seventeenth
birthday, devoting all the space it had
on one page to the subject. The arti-
Gle is the result of weeks labor, in.
GLIDING visit to the editors conven-
ton at Port Huron, where our cotem.
porary gathered in the inspiration
that enabled him to make the greatest
effort of his life. 1t is a pleasure to
us to see the great genius of the Jour
nal leave his vast and herculean task
of enlightening and learning the Ia
boring men and chastising citizens, to
join in mild mental frolic, and thus
tighten the heavy task he is struggl-
ing under. 1t will account for the
slightly inebriated appearance of what
the Journal says. 1t was not men,
tai drunk on the Journals part it
was merely little mental vacation,
that great minds occasionally indulge
in. We return thanks for the space.

Collins Il johnson loaded the
schooner Higgie with $4,000 railway
ties, this week, from their boom just
above the bridge. The ties are hoist
ed out of the water by an elevator,
run by horse power. AS they are
well soaked with water, they are not
very pleasant things to hug, but the
crew have t hug them all the same
as they carry the ties from the eleva-
tor chute to the place they are slowed
on the vessel. An endless chain runs
along the elevator-one end being un-
der the water. At distances but few
feet apart, brackets are fastened to
the chain, and as it moves up the ele-
vator the brackets come against tie
and carry it to the top. Men with
pike poles keep stream of ties float
ing to the elevator. The horse is sta
toned on a float, and turns a gearing
something like threshing machine
power.

The Wilson road, just west of the
city, is being improved by putting on
crushed stone. Up to this writing
nearly half mile has been covered,
but we are sorry to say that. in our
opinion, the road bed has not first
been put in shape to make the road
lasting, yet it is an Improvement over
the former heavy sand and water
holes.
